It should have been a great morning for Richie Incognito . A brand new black Ferrari was delivered to his Florida house on Tuesday .

Instead he is at the center of national media attention and exiled from his NFL team after a Miami Dolphins teammate made allegations of misconduct against him .

Dolphins coach Joe Philbin suspended Incognito on Sunday night .

`` You know , I 'm just trying to weather the storm right now . And this will pass , '' he told CNN affiliate WSVN outside a doctor 's office in Weston , Florida , on Tuesday .

Incognito said he did n't want to comment on media reports that he sent line-mate Jonathan Martin voice mails containing racial slurs and threats of physical violence . When asked about his status with the team , Incognito closed the door to his car without answering and drove away .

ESPN , NFL.com and other media outlets reported that representatives for Martin on Sunday submitted the voice mails and texts to the league and the Dolphins . One of the messages , from April , contained a reference to Martin 's biracial background , according to ESPN 's sources .

`` Hey , wassup , you half -LRB- expletive -RRB- piece of -LRB- expletive -RRB- . I saw you on Twitter , you been training 10 weeks . I 'll -LRB- expletive -RRB- in your -LRB- expletive -RRB- mouth . I 'm gon na slap your -LRB- expletive -RRB- mouth , I 'm gon na slap your real mother across the face -LRB- laughter -RRB- . -LRB- Expletive -RRB- you , you 're still a rookie . I 'll kill you . ''

Philbin told reporters on Monday he made the decision to suspend Incognito `` based on the information that I had at that time . '' He did n't give a reason for the move .

Martin left the team suddenly last week and has not commented publicly on why he walked away in the middle of the season . He remains on the team 's roster -LRB- meaning he will be paid for this week -RRB- , though last week he was listed as inactive with an `` illness . ''

Also Tuesday , celebrity gossip website TMZ posted a video of Incognito at a bar , shouting at the top of his lungs while pacing wildly around a pool table topless . He uses profanity and the N-word in referring to one of his teammates who is also there . Martin does n't appear in the video and TMZ only said the video was recorded earlier this year .

CNN reached out multiple times to representatives for each player but has n't received comment .

Richie Incognito , Jonathan Martin , and the NFL 's future

Cafeteria incident sparked departure

Last week , the Dolphins announced Martin had taken `` a leave of absence . ''

Philbin said Martin left the team after an incident at the team 's cafeteria . Jay Glazer , an NFL analyst for FoxSports.com , reported that some of his teammates got up from a lunch table as a joke when Martin sat down . The lineman threw his food tray hard to the ground , he reported . Glazer later tweeted the incident was a final straw for Martin .

The coach said representatives for Martin contacted the team on Sunday with their concerns . The Dolphins spent Sunday gathering information , after which he suspended Incognito , Philbin said .

Several media outlets said Martin had left the Dolphins because of bullying , something Incognito denied on Twitter .

`` Shame on you for attaching my name to false speculation , '' one of the tweets said , according to Bleacher Report . That tweet and others addressed to various media outlets were later deleted .

A post from Sunday remained a day later : `` Three things can not be long hidden : the sun , the moon , and the truth -- Buddha . ''

Philbin said he met with Martin and also talked with members of his family before Sunday , and the second-year player did n't say anything about player misconduct .

The team said Sunday in a statement that Incognito , a nine-year veteran at offensive guard , was suspended for detrimental conduct .

`` We believe in maintaining a culture of respect for one another and as a result we believe this decision is in the best interest of the organization at this time , '' the team said in a statement on its website .

The Miami Herald reported that a Dolphins source said Incognito is `` done '' with the team . A Dolphins spokesman had no comment .

` Teddy bear off the field '

Chris Draft played with Incognito when both were with the St. Louis Rams in 2007 and 2008 . Incognito 's on-field aggressive persona was nothing like his personality away from the playing field , Draft said .

`` He was really kind of a big teddy bear off the field . My wife actually loved him , '' he said .

The Sporting News takes a yearly poll of NFL players , and in 2009 they dubbed Incognito the dirtiest player in the league .

The Rams released Incognito in December 2009 after an argument during a game with then-head coach Steve Spagnuolo . He played with the Buffalo Bills for three games before joining the Dolphins .

Incognito , who played in the Pro Bowl all-star game in January , appeared to have calmed down on the field , according to a profile on NFL.com . Incognito pointed to meditation as a positive tool he used .

The NFL will review the case , league spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday .

`` I will tell you that if the review shows that this is not a safe atmosphere I will take whatever measures are necessary to assure that it is , '' Philbin said . `` I have that obligation to the players that I coach on a daily basis . ''

The NFL Players Association has said the union has not started an investigation .

NFL 's pecking order

Dolphins rookie Will Davis said he has n't experienced any acts of bullying or hazing .

`` I think a lot of people think of hazing as being cruel , but I do n't see anything like that in this locker room , '' he said . `` But it depends on how you take hazing . I 've always thought the guys in here were great . ''

He said everyone on the team loves Incognito .

`` I was shocked , '' he said .

Wide receiver Mike Wallace said there was a lot of respect for both players .

`` I know both of those guys personally , '' he said . `` I feel like they are both good guys . ''

Former Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder told `` Piers Morgan Live '' that a locker room is often a place where players are trying to establish a pecking order .

People can not compare it to working at a regular job , he said , because it involves physically aggressive men with big egos competing and trying to prove their manhood .

NFL players are `` a bunch of testosterone-filled alpha males who are trying to find their place on the totem pole , '' he told Morgan .

He said when Incognito joined the team , he would test people to see where he stood with them .

`` He is a guy that needs to know his place with you , '' Crowder said .

Incognito also apparently liked to play pranks . In a segment shown on an HBO series that follows one NFL team during each preseason , Incognito figured out a teammate 's iPad password . He then teased the player about a status update he made for the player and joked about the player 's fiancee .

`` Hard Knocks '' has given audiences a look inside team dynamics , sometimes giving viewers a glimpse at life for rookies . And inevitably some of the younger players get hazed .

Hazing on the decline ?

Still , former Dolphins running back Ricky Williams said it occurs less frequently in the NFL than most people think .

`` Really I have n't seen much hazing , '' he said in an interview on `` The Lead with Jake Tapper . ''

He said it 's a well-known `` rite of passage '' for a high draft pick to pick up a big dinner bill for some other players on the team .

`` Once you sign that contract there 's a lot of rules , written and unwritten , that you are expected to follow , '' he said . `` For me , this is something that should be handled internally . I do n't think the media , I do n't think fans , I do n't think anyone outside is really in a position to really fully understand what occurs inside of a locker room and inside of a football team .
